PCM Enhanced Building Envelopes presents the latest research in the field of thermal energy storage technologies that can be applied to solar heating and cooling with the aim of shifting and reducing building energy demand. It discusses both practical and technical issues, as well as the advantages of using common phase change materials (PCMs) in buildings as a more efficient, novel solution for passive solar heating/cooling strategies. The book includes qualitative and quantitative descriptions of the science, technology and practices of PCM-based building envelopes, and reflects recent trends by placing emphasis on energy storage solutions within building walls, floors, ceilings, façades, windows, and shading devices. With the aim of assessing buildings’ energy performance, the book provides advanced modeling and simulation tools as a theoretical basis for the analysis of PCM-based building envelopes in terms of heat storage and transfer. This book will be of interest to all those dealing with building energy analysis such as researchers, academics, students and professionals in the fields of mechanical and civil engineering and architectural design
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on International Conference on Applied Technologies, ICAT 2024, held in Samborondón, Ecuador, during November 20–22, 2024. The 25 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Computing; E-learning; Electronics; Technology Trends; Intelligent Systems; Machine Vision; and AT for Engineering Applications.
Building Energy Flexibility and Demand Management looks at the high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources and the need for increased flexibility. Ensuring electrical power systems adapt to dynamic energy demand and supply conditions, the book supports the transition to a renewable energy future with current fluctuating power generation. By facilitating the penetration of renewable energy sources into the building sector and balancing electricity supply with demand in real-time, this book will provide fundamental concepts, theories, and methods to understand, quantify, design and optimize building energy flexibility. In addition, the book also provides case studies with emergin...
Using the major theories of humor as a point of departure, Humor in Pedagogy in Tertiary Education in the Age of COVID-19: Bosnia in Comparative Perspective argues for the expanded use of humor as pedagogy in Bosnian tertiary education, unfazed by the pandemic infections of COVID-19, with teachable lessons for other countries. It argues that the measures put in place to contain the spread of the pandemic neither foreclosed nor rendered less exigent, the drive for more quality education in Bosnia achieved through various means that include creative application of humor in tertiary education. Rather than minimize it, the era of non-classroom-based instructions ushered by COVID-19 offers an opp...
Recent Trends and Applications of Soft Computing in Engineering (RTASCE), a key resource showcasing research and development in engineering. Created at the inaugural RTASCE conference in Sarajevo, this edited volume brings together leading scholars and researchers to explore the transformative applications of soft computing in a variety of fields. With topics ranging from artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) to machine learning, this book offers practical applications and insight into future trends, making it an invaluable addition to any academic library. This book bridges the biological sciences and engineering through programming, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration. Structured into five main sections – including artificial intelligence, IoT, communication systems, bioengineering and manufacturing management – RTASCE not only highlights real-world case studies and expert perspectives, but also provides practical guidance for practitioners looking to integrate soft computing techniques into their work .
